ALL THESE BREWERIES ARE YOURS, EXCEPT ANCHOR. ATTEMPT NO DRINKING THERE: Given the East Coast focus of our audience, I thought I'd share with you folks
the good news that
Sierra Nevada is opening a brewery in Mills River, North Carolina and
Lagunitas is opening one in Chicago. Sierra Nevada's Porter is one of my all time favorite beers.
In East Coast beer news, Long Island's Blue Point was acquired this week by Anheuser-Busch InBev. http://brewyorknewyork.com/post/75700962907/our-take-on-the-anheuser-busch-blue-point-deal
ReplyDeleteI can't say that Blue Point is in the top tier of NY area brewers (or even the best on Lon gisland), But then, acquisition by AB hasn't drastically affected the quality of Goose Island's brews, either.
Oh, I'm sorry: I can't hear anyone over the sounds of people worshipping at the various tap-altars scattered around the Colorado Beer Mecca.
ReplyDeleteSo, I see you're still not getting Bells or Great Lakes out there. How unfortunate.
ReplyDeleteYeah, sadly AB buying Goose didn't make them good.
ReplyDeleteAwesome post title. Alternative:
